   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-033
   * Project: Certify [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 6.x
   * Date: 2015-January-28
   * Security risk: 11/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:Some/II:None/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Access bypass, Information Disclosure, Multiple
     vulnerabilities

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

Certify enables you to automatically issue PDF certificates to users upon
completion of a set of conditions.

The module does not sufficiently check node access when showing (and
creating) the PDF certificates. This can lead to users seeing certificates
they should not have access to.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have
completed the conditions of the certificate.


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance
            with Drupal Security Team processes./

-------- VERSIONS AFFECTED
---------------------------------------------------

   * Certify 6.x-2.x versions prior to 6.x-2.3.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Certify [4]
module,
       there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------

Install the latest version:

   * If you use the Certify module for Drupal 6.x, upgrade to Certify 6.x-2.3
     [5]

Also see the Certify [6] project page.
